I want Hader. I would like for the Rangers trade for Justin Lawrence and Jason Foley and 1 or 2 others. I would like them to discuss an 2 or 3 year extension with Leclerc that would lower his 2024 cap hit from the projected $6.25M to a more appropriate $4 to 4.5M
Yeah you have certian guys you have targeted amd seem locked into those specific guys. I am looking at a larger group that I hope the Rangers acquire from. I could zero in on 4 guys, but I doubt they would acquire those exact guys. Kimbrel is a part of a larger group for me.

Ok Rangers. This is it. 3 games to win 1.

I say...FINISH IT TONIGHT!!!

I really don't know how much more drama and anxiety I can take.

GO RANGERS

I’m targeting a certain level of competence at certain positions. Kimbrell doesn’t hit that level Hader does and I’m sure there are a couple of others that hit level 1 or 2. Kimbrell is probably bottom of level 3 or top of level 4

Kimbrel is going to be 36. He’s not as good. That’s why he would cost less.
Yeah, I would like for someone like him to slot in about 4th in our 2024 bullpen pecking order.

16M is not a lot less than what better quality closers will get. And there’s the fact that in 2025 you’ll be paying even more for the next closer
It’s going to be a lot less than Hader will get. At 36 how many years you going to sign him to. He’s not going to want to sign a 1 or 2 year deal. I don’t want another Chapman. He was not good in 2021. In 2022 he had close to a 4 era.

Smoltz has to be thrilled with this successful small ball by the Dbacks…they didn’t score, but it’s as good as a score bc they do everything right!

Gallen has his stuff tonight but Eovaldi is tough man. He's a bulldog that's gonna grind and keep us in the game

Small ball will kick our tail if we don't keep LO hitters at bay.

I'm amazed how we got out of that without giving up a run.
